On my trip back to Washington (as seen in two of my recent photo posts), I was able to visit my friend Scott (of Click Clack Ding!). He'd bought quite a big lot of Alpina ephemera from Germany (seriously, a lot of cool stuff, which will eventually be posted to his blog) and was generous enough to let me take any duplicates he had and post them here for you!| x over it
I spent quite a lot of time in Tacoma on my trip, so most of today's photos were taken there. First, here are some photos I took at Point Defiance Park.| x over it
Back in February, I posted about the SFO Museum coming to the house to pick up a few typewriters for their upcoming exhibit, The Typewriter: An Innovation in Writing.| x over it
While W has been deployed, I went on a two week trip back to Washington as a break from work, and being alone at home. Here are some photos I took on the trip.| x over it
I recently made a purchase from a Finnish used bookstore, and while trying to find a few more things to buy to take better advantage of the flat rate shipping I came across this wonderful brochure. The seller kindly threw it in for free.| x over it
When I decided I really wanted to get into film photography with some degree of seriousness, I did a lot of research and came up with what I thought would be the perfect camera for me, based on my digital photography habits, and my love for 1970s Japanese cameras.| x over it

I was contacted by the SFO Museum because they wanted to add some color to the mid-century section of their upcoming typewriter display (May 2017 to January 2018 in Terminal 2, if you're curious). They chose these four, along with two change-a-type kits.| x over it
Our next stop was one of my favorite places in the world, the Hoh rainforest.| x over it

Earlier this month, I, W, and two friends visiting from Europe went on a long road trip along the northwest coast, beginning in northern California and ending in an extended stay on the Olympic Peninsula and Seattle/Tacoma area.| x over it
A friend of mine came across this adorable and hilarious article in the archives of the local newspaper today, and I knew I had to share it with you all! From this angle I can't make out the typewriter, anyone have any ideas?| x over it
W and I woke up before the sunrise and went for a walk in the park when it started to get light.| x over it
I haven't posted any travel- or nature-related stuff here lately, so I thought I'd use today, the final day of November, as an excuse to make a post this month. I've taken plenty of photos in and around Sacramento since we moved here, but it seems like my favorite ones are always night shots. The first one here is of a canal to the west of town with a nice moon reflection.| x over it

I recently bought this little pamphlet on ebay. Along with some nice graphics, it also shows the colors and typefaces available at the time (which I presume is 1929) and mentions how special keyboards could be procured at no extra cost.| x over it

I forgot to mention that these are not on universal spools—they will not work in many German, British, and other typewriters that use DIN spools.| x over it
